Next chapter
Modern people can never imagine what it would be like for a person to be extremely hungry, and can never imagine how much a hungry person can eat in one meal.
Tang Dou looked at the ordinary people squatting in a yard and gobbling up, and then looked at the empty big basket, he was already worried about whether someone would be broken in their stomachs.
How many people are there? Fifty people? Sixty people? These people actually ate a full 800 yuan of steamed buns, and their eyes were still staring at the buns in other people's hands before they had time to stuff them into their mouths.
How many Han Chinese are still in this town? Five hundred? A thousand?
Tang Dou kept wandering in the crowd, constantly admonishing people to eat slowly, drink some millet porridge and eat together, don't choke.
So far, at least five or six people have choked on buns, but fortunately, people rescued them in time to avoid causing a tragedy.
More and more Han people who rushed to hear the news gathered outside the door of this small courtyard, and Tang Dou couldn't estimate how many people there were.
And the skinny arm that stretched out only at Tang Dou made Tang Dou's nose sour.
Tang Dou reached out and picked up Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning against the root of the wall and burping, and asked him: "Little brother, there is a spacious courtyard here, I want to open a porridge shed." ”
"Yes, the great good man comes with me." Hearing that Tang Dou was going to open a porridge shed, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately came to his senses.
Under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang Dou was surrounded by at least a thousand Han people and came to a ruined temple outside Zhongli Town.
Seeing the spacious courtyard in front of the broken temple, Tang Dou nodded with satisfaction, he jumped on the bare stone seat at the gate of the broken temple, and shouted loudly at the thousands of people who were looking forward to it at his feet: "Folks, my surname is Tang, and I want to open a porridge shed here." I won't leave until you get through this year of famine. Now please go and prepare some dry wood pots and stoves, let's start cooking porridge immediately, I promise that every day the villagers can eat enough and no longer starve, and the food will be shipped immediately. ”
Hearing that the grain would be delivered soon, the people at Tang Dou's feet began to stir.
Those who have already eaten big meat buns and drunk millet porridge are the most positive. immediately stood up to respond to Tang Dou, and asked people to quickly look for dry wood pots.
The Mongols forbade the Han and Nan people to possess iron tools, preventing the Han people from collecting these iron tools and casting them into weapons to rebel.
Although there are no iron tools, the Han people have inherited thousands of years of civilization, and naturally have a way to replace the iron pot with other items for cooking.
After a short effort, someone had already returned to the yard with clay pots and urns, and the dry firewood and straw were gradually piled up, and the stove was built. Clusters of flames were also lit.
People were staring at Tang Dou, waiting for the grain he said was about to arrive.
Tang Dou saw that although there was chaos in the courtyard, there was already some order, he nodded, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him and said, "Little brother, are you willing to help me transport the grain together." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously and said to Tang Dou: "I am willing." ”
Tang Dou nodded, jumped off the stone seat, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Follow me." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang led the cow. Chasing Tang Dou's buttocks, he asked, "Big brother, do you want me to call a few more people?" ”
Tang Dou shook his head: "Just come with me by yourself." ”
The people who were looking forward to it originally thought that Tang Dou was going to go out of town. didn't expect Tang Dou to go straight to the broken temple.
With the direction in which Tang Dou walked, those scrawny people made way one after another, and watched Tang Dou and Zhu Yuanzhang walk into the broken temple together.
Tang Dou glanced at the ruined temple with only one house and the roof was already open, nodded with satisfaction, turned back to Zhu Yuanzhang who followed up and said, "Close the door and tie your cow to the pillar." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang did in response. With the closure of the temple gate, the dilapidated temple dimmed, but fortunately, there was a big hole in the roof of the ruined temple, and it was not invisible.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiring gaze, Tang Dou smiled bitterly. said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Little brother, don't hide it, I'm not a mortal." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth wide, stared at Tang Dou for a long time, and subconsciously glanced at the statue in the broken temple that was already covered with dust and cobwebs.
There is no way, Tang Dou carries the grain from modern times, this is a hard work, and someone has to help him.
Anyway, Tang Dou pretended to be a fairy and didn't pretend to be a fairy once or twice, and now he is familiar with it, and he is not embarrassed at all.
The reason why Tang Dou chose Zhu Yuanzhang was that since he crossed over here, that is, the cowherd baby in front of him seemed to be bolder, so he simply exposed his identity in front of him, and arranged for him to do some hard work.
Tang Dou nodded at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Little brother, don't be surprised, I have traveled all over the world and seen the suffering of the people here, so I want to help you survive the famine." Otherwise, where do you think the big meat buns you just ate came from? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smashed his mouth, and now he still has a round belly, and his mouth is full of meat, and those big meat buns are indisputable facts.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously: "Old fairy, I believe it." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang has heard people talk about ancient times, and knows that immortals are all old monsters who have cultivated for thousands of years, just like the third prince of Nezha, he still looks like a doll, but in fact, he doesn't know how many years he has been cultivating, so Zhu Yuanzhang added an old word in front of the immortals.
Tang Dou smiled slightly and didn't argue, nodded and said, "I'll go to the upper realm to bring some food back, you wait here to answer for a while, don't let others break in." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, reached out and picked up a desk leg from the ground, held it in his hand, and said to Tang Dou: "Old immortal, please rest assured, whoever dares to break in, I will crush his head with a stick." ”
Tang Dou nodded, reached out and touched the teleportation ring, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Very good, what's your name." ”
"My name is Zhu Chongba." Zhu Yuanzhang replied with a straight chest.
"Zhu Chongba, well, yes, you are here to help me watch a little...... I'll go, you're Zhu Chongba? Tang Dou rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang with a snort, reached out and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm, and looked up and down with wide eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by Tang Dou, took a step back precautionarily, and saw that Tang Dou seemed to have no malicious intent, so he relieved himself.
Tang Dou looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How many of you are named Zhu Chongba here?" ”
"I'm the only one." Zhu Yuanzhang said suspiciously.
"I'm a day", Tang Dou directly gave God a middle finger.
According to folklore, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered from smallpox when he was a child, leaving behind a face of marijuana, and his forehead bone protruded, and his chin was slender and long.
Legend has it that the court painter was dragged out and beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang in anger because he painted Zhu Yuanzhang too vividly, which also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is really not good from the side.
According to the records and portraits in the official history, Zhu Yuanzhang's heavenly court is full and round, and his appearance is different from ordinary people, wonderful and unpredictable, and he is a natural emperor.
For the official history and folklore, Tang Dou is more inclined to believe in folklore, after all, the theory about Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance is widely circulated, while the official history is biased to beautify the image of the emperor.
Tang Dou had already sketched a picture of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart before he crossed over, and Zhu Chongba in front of him at this moment completely subverted the image of Zhu Yuanzhang in his mind.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him can't see the appearance of an emperor with a full and round heavenly court, he is by no means an ugly person with a pockmarked face, it can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is just an extremely ordinary ordinary person, and there is not even a little remarkable place in his face, even if you stare at Zhu Yuanzhang's face for the first half of the year, you may forget what he looks like as soon as you turn your face.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang is an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary.
"Good, good", Tang Dou smiled and patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder: "Zhu Chongba, your name is not good, if you change your name to Zhu Yuanzhang, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky one day, become a dragon among people, and look down on all beings." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang Dou, his mind was a little messy.
How could a good old fairy change his name, and say that he would soar into the sky and become a dragon among people, looking down on all beings, what does the old fairy mean?
Tang Dou patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little brother, remember, from today onwards you will no longer be Zhu Chongba, your surname is Zhu, and your name is Zhu Yuanzhang." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded ignorantly: "My name is Zhu Yuanzhang, and I am no longer Zhu Chongba." ”
Tang Dou nodded, laughed and activated the teleportation ring, which disappeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Rao is Zhu Yuanzhang was bold enough, but he was also startled by Tang Dou's sudden disappearance, he turned around in panic to look for Tang Dou's shadow, but he couldn't find it, and saw the Buddha statue on the Buddha shrine that was already in tatters, and suddenly knelt in front of the Buddha statue with a pop, and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Grandpa Fairy has appeared, Grandpa Fairy has appeared." ”
Tang Dou came back with a bag of rice, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and kowtowing, he couldn't help but be angry and laughed, raised his foot and kicked Zhu Yuanzhang's buttocks: "Show your size, get up quickly, and send the rice to the villagers to cook porridge, if you starve to death for a while, I will ask you." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Tang Dou had appeared behind him at some point, and there was a heavy bag of rice at Tang Dou's feet, he jumped up as if he had been bitten by a dog, but then he knelt down at Tang Dou and kowtowed three times, picked up the bag of rice and rushed out of the temple door:
"The gods have appeared, we have something to eat!"
Tang Dou had a black line, touched the teleportation ring, and crossed away. (To be continued.) )
